Tom Brady insists that his extended absence from the New England Patriots offseason program had absolutely nothing to do with any differences with Bill Belichick.
No, Brady maintains, it’s personal — not a speculated, perceived or imagined rift with the hard-driving coach who cut his living legend of a quarterback absolutely no slack during http://www.baseballofficialproshop.com/detroit-tigers-c-691_717.html this week’s three-day minicamp.

Still, it seems weird. Brady has always been all-in for OTAs, the model Belichick-ian robo-pupil.

That he’s a father of three is another key stat, right in the mix with age and durability markers.

The video shows only two plays, but Ingram makes a decent case here. On the first pass, he shakes Brown with a jab step and cut toward the sideline. On the second, he beats Brown deep and catches the pass in Dave Winfield Jersey the back end zone. We’ll let it slide that he didn’t get both feet down.

Neither player is in pads, and neither is going full speed, so take the results with a grain of salt. But the general point is Ingram looked smooth and natural running routes and catching passes.

It has worked for other teams in the past. Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt has three career receiving touchdowns, defensive tackle Tyson Alualu caught two passes during his time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Tennessee Titans once completed a pass to defensive lineman Karl Klug.

The Chargers have little depth behind Green, and have reportedly contacted 38-year-old Gates about a possible reunion. If Ingram could take a few snaps and do so with success, it’d be a big help for the Los Angeles offense.
